Mozingo Brushworks

I have this one on the way and I’m looking forward to it. Custom sized at 29mm

Of course yours is 29mm....*eye roll*

Always looking to one-up ol LOOT, you are.

28mm ZT1 on the left and 26mm ZT2 on the right.

Anyone compare the knots in these to Declaration or any other high end knots?

I've had B3,B4, B6, B7 and B8. The ZT2 is softer than those. It's similar to Varlet hair...but I didnt keep the Varlets. I've not tried HT1 hair.

Maybe Kehole Sean will chime in. I know he has all 4 of those knot variations.

The ZT2 is better than B5. It is softer.

I really like that Opal resin.

I have a ZT1. I don’t have a ZT2. In terms of most to least dense knot, it goes BE/Mozingo > Declaration > Varlet. I haven’t tried a Rhodium knot yet.

The hair itself can be sort of hit or miss for any of these. DG B6 was super consistent. Some batches were/are more variable. One of my HT1s gels more than my other two. Varlet doesn’t name batches and one of mine has hair that’s clearly a different “batch” than the others, yet it is all called “Alpine Grade.” My favorite brush of all is a 29mm Varlet beehive with a higher loft and less dense knot than any of these, so low loft and high density aren’t the be all and end all.

So it’s hard to judge the hair itself, though the ZT2 will probably be closer to HT1 than anything else, based on the knot construction and density. But it is much easier to get than a Black Eagle brush, so it’s probably a good option for people who want to try an ultra dense knot without having to get lucky enough to score a HT1.

I enjoy the variety and think people should try as many different brushes as possible and as their budgets allow. My friend’s dad says, “You don’t know what you like, you like what you know.” It’s probably true when it comes to these high end brushes. At some point, I’ll probably keep my top 4-8, though I don’t know what they all are yet.

I have never used Varlet or BE hand tied.

My 29mm arrived today. I have one more on the way as well. Check this baby out!

Everything appears top notch. The hair is incredibly soft with density that is matched only by black eagle.



Just did a palm lather today. Will shave with it tomorrow and report back.
